By the Act, as , t now stood, there was a Court estiblished which had the care of investi gating prize cases fur Grecn,%ich Hospital, and the expenses were detraytd out of a fund taised by a per centage on pi ize-money ; this per cen tage had of late not been found sufficient, and this Bill was intended to increase the Leave was given, the Bill was brought in, read a first time, and ordered to be read a second tima on Mon:lay.

Mr. ARBUTHNOT repeated his former arguments tif the grunt. Lord rALMERSToN SAL, it most he well known to every person who had ever rode over kVimble don Common, that it was by no Inea.is fitted for an exercising ground for cavalry—it was full of boles and boo. The same objection would ap ply to Wormwood Scrubs, where a great deal of money had been expended, and no benefit del ived 'from it. If this spot at Hourr-lov was not pur chased, he did not know of any fit for the purpose near the metropolis.—The Ite,olution was Olen agreed to, a: wet e the other Resolutions.

FLOOD, with much warmth, declared, that as the impracticable Act of the last Session, with all its obnoxious clauses appointing Sur- veyors in every county and city of poor Ireland (as he called it), with immense salarivs, was to be repealed by this Rill ; and as the present Bill Contained many wholesome provisions facilitating and assisting Grand Jurors in their investiga tions, and as the final decision on all present ments was still to be placed in the Grand Jury, and the peasantry world be relieved trotn extra vagant cesses, he would therefore give this Bill hi• hearty ast-istance.

THE LOTTERY We conceive that Btsti is not the Contractor for the Lottery at present upon sale; but we see that the Scheme has been formed, in some mea sure, upon the plan of the last, for which he was Contractor, namely, by introducing a numerous List of Capitals. This gives him a good field for bis operations, as we doubt not the greater part 'of these Capitals will (as usual) go through his bands ; this appears too to be the general opi nion of those numerous adventurers who daily visit him. The ALIEN BILL, which bas.excited so much discussion, vests no new power in the Crown ; it ()Ply dcfines a very old and salutary Prerogative, which has existed many Centuries. If Govern ment had not the means promptly to check the influx of Foreigners, they might be induced to crowd into this Country, and monopolize the HUNDRED and SEVEN CAPITALS before the KING'S BIRTH DAY, when the Lottery begins, and the first 20 Prizes must be all Capitals, besides the 40,0001. 23,0001. or 22,000/. for the Sixth Prize above 10001.

"The QUEEN has felt herself uniformly better since the last .report. Her MAJESTY has slept well. ce FRANCIS MILMAN, " HENRY HALFORD." We received yesterday the Paris Papers of "chursday last, and this morning those of Friday. The latter announce the demo of her Serene High ness Mademoiselle FRANCOIS/I LOUISE CAROLINE D'ORLEAris:Duchess de AIONTPENSIER, daughter of the Duke of ORLEANS. An article from Rome, in the Journals of Wed nesday, speaks of the foreigners there being so numerous that many of them were obliged to seek for lodgings in unfrequented parts of Me city, and a speculation in building had in conseittiebbe been commenced. From Vienna, the arrival (here is mentioned of the Grand Chamberlain, the Count de %VoaBNA, croft) Rio Janeiro. He was on board the English packet which was 'plundered by a pirate under Spanish colours. He lost, in consequence, all the dispatches, and the levers from the Archduchess LEoPoLDINE, Princess Royal of Portugal and the Brazils, which were thrown into the sea, and was robbed of considerable property, consisting chiefly of presents sent by the Princess to different per sons at the Court of Vienna. The Frankfort accounts state s that the Diet has determined to leave to the respective Governments in Germany the establishment of the principles of representation, but that the Liberty of the Press will remain a general question, to be decided upon in the Dirt. . The following are extracts from the Papers of Fritiav " PARIS, MAY 22.—The Duke of Orleans pro ceeded at 11 o'clock yesterday morning to the Thuilleries, to announce to his Majusty the death of the Princess Francoise Louise Caroline d'Orkans, his daughter (Duchess de IVlontpensier).

CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 12.—A numerous deputation lately arrived here from Algiers, to in. form the Grand Seignior of all that has passed for some months in that capital. It appears that poison was administered to the -late Dey Ali Hodgia, and that be did not die of the plague as before stated. The tyrant had rendered himself odious to nll the inhabitants of Algiers. The Grand Seignior has been solicited to confirm the new Dry Hussein Paella, whom the majority of the inhabitants have created Chief of the Go vernment of Argiers. He has been authorized to exercise the functions of that station, and has therefore been recognized by the Porte. " COPENHAGEN, MAY 9.—A Russian fleet, consisting of six ships of the line, and some frigates, is expected in our Roads about the middle of this month. " WARSAW, MAY 4.---The Emperor of Russia► will return here in August to proceed to the Con gress of Sovereigns." Extract of a Letter from the Agrnt to Lloyd's at _ Buenos Ayres, dated Feb. 15. " The English ship Mary Anne, HADAWAY, from Monte Video to Valparaiso, seat into Lirna by the Vengauza Spanish frigate, has been con demned with her cargo. The Hydra whaler, of Plymouth, which was also sent in there, has been released. " All the Ports in the South American Spanish Colonies have been declared by the Viceroy of Lima in a state of blockade, Callado, the Island of St. Mary's, and Chilan, excepted. A br ig pri vateer, CHASE, Master, with 6Q men, but with out papers of any sort from this Government, but supposed to have a commission from ARTIGAS, has sailed on a cruiZe.

Never was there id riod in the annals of this Country in whi ch! who are really att a ch e d t o our Church and State were more imperiou sl i on to exercise the important privilege i" 4" : 0 0 1 than at present.

I3URDETT'S ELECTION. Saturday, the eleventh Anniversary of the Friends to the Purity of Election was celebrated at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in the Strand ; Sir F. BURDETT, Wirt. M. in the Chair. Soon at - ter five O'clock Mr. Hunt entered the room, and was received .11y the assemblage with partial hissings and approbation ; lie approached the top of the table, but afterwards withdrew from it, and rook his seat sonic distance below. At half-past five o'clock the Chairman, accom panied by Lord Cochrane, the Hon. Douglas Kinnaird, Sir R.Wilson, Mr.Brure, Mr. P.Walker, Mr. Wooler, Mr. Sturcb, Mr. Wi,hart, &c, en tered the room. Mr. STuliCti proposed the folinwin toast, " Westminster's Pride arid England's Glory, Sir Francis Burdett." Sir F. BURDETT regretted that he had not the honour of being surro , m(!ed by many of those dis tit►guished Gentlemen who had on former occa sions been present. He confessed that it was impossible he could do any good for his consti tuents, and he had no hesitation is saying he should be l►appy never to set his foot it) the House . of Commons again, unless a radical reform was to take, place.. He had been called a Jacobin. He bad no objection to the name it they wished to give it him, for he had rather see the, whole power in the Crown than in an abandoned Oh gachy above the Crown. The character of a trim.' Englishman was what he most prized, and, he trusted, while he bad exertions to support the character he should never want friends to sup port him.—(Great applause followed this speech.) Mr. M` LAURIN proposed " The health of Lord Cochrane." Lord CocnaANs stated, that be intended to en deavour to obliterate from his mind many painful subjects by absenting himself. He would absent himself trout his fellow citizens tor a time with that view ; and he trusted that on his return a more favourable prospect would present itself. He would, rather than submit to the tyranny con templated by Ministers, he dragged to the rack, and at once annihilated. This would probably be the last time, for eighteen months, he would have he honour to addl. ss the meeting, and next Tues day would he the last clay fur that space of time that he would have the opportunity of wing in the House. Upon that night be should take care to be present, and go the fart nest extent in his assistance to the measure of Annual Patliatnents and Universal Suffrage. Major CARTWRIGHT, on his health being drank, ridiculed the conduct otlwhat were called Nadel-ate liffilimers, and de clared that if a dozen such persons as the present Representa tives of Westminster were in the House of Commons, the country might expect a tharangla reform in Parlinment... , . Sir F. BLianErr then read a letter from Lord Sefton, ex cusiog himself from attending, in consequence of ill health ; and declaring that nothing hut ill health would have prevented him from Moog Lord Sefto,i's health was drank with enthusiasm. The IVort by Baronet also read an apology from Sir Gilbert Heath, ol e. Sir F. BußnErr then gave, " Ireland, and destruction to all religious intolerance."—," Applause.)--" Erin go bragh." " The Hon. Dimglas Kinnaird, and success to the rising spirit of retorts in Scotland." Mr. KINN JRU returiwd thanks. Mr. Hoar now appeared on the table, and was rece;rird with violent clamours from all parts of the room. This con- Untied for some time, when Mr. Hunt retired, by d4MOUFS from every pais oi she Meeting. Sir F. BURDeLT said, that Mr. Hunt had retired in order not to interruvt the regular series of toasts, and would ad dress the Meeting afterwards, when the attention of the Meeting would no doubt be given to him. The Holt. Baronet tin n gave " The health of Sir R. Wilson." In rettirming thanks, Sir R. WILSON said, he had.received such assurances of support, that he considered his success in standing for the Representation of the Borough no longer problematical. Mr. How again came forward. He was hissed from the table but sir Francis Burdett hating requested in the must urgent manner that he should be heard, he again got upon the table; he vas obliged to retire a third time, amidst groan ings and hissings. Sir F. By RDETT stated to the Meeting, that if the ordinary course of proceeding was not adhered to, he should feel it his duty to leave the Chair. Mr. HUNT, after a most powerful opposition, was then per mitted to say, that in the absence of Lord Cochrane, he should oiler himself a Candidate to represent the Electors of Westminster in Parliament. The Meeting did not break up until a late hour.
